Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has encountered a legal issue that could impact production on the new series of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.

According to reports, the District of Los Angeles took the decision this week to ban Oliver from filming in their state schools.

Oliver had spent the last two weeks filming at West Adams Preparatory High School, but the Los Angeles Unified School District has now suspended filming across all reality shows over concerns at how the district might be portrayed.

"If you look at the last series Oliver did in Huntington, it was full of conflict and drama, and we're not interested in that," District spokesman Robert Alaniz said, according to the LA Times.

The first season of Oliver's ABC series took place in Huntington, West Virginia, and saw the chef attempting to change the eating habits of the most unhealthy city in the US.

A spokesperson for ABC claims that production on the new season will continue, but declined to comment on the Los Angeles ban.
